A recent study cited in the Globe and Mail suggested money can buy happiness — if you spend it on someone else. If you are looking to be happy please feel free to request my address and send some this way. You’ll be happy to know I’ll spend it on my children.

What really caught my eye is that the Brits have a Lord of Happiness. See this from the article:

Lord Layard, a Government adviser on happiness, said: “There has been no upward trend in happiness despite the fact that we are richer, healthier, and have longer holidays. That is the challenge to government policy and to our own lifestyle.”

If we turn happiness over to the government and transform it into policy, might not this be part of our happiness conundrum?
